I'm not a big fan of Halo lights in general. I've always thought smoked OEM style front headlights look good, esp on a white car.

Just a thought...

Stick with the OEM light....if you're considering a "whistled" look and want just black then the depo lights look like a front runner.

If you're looking to set yourself apart from the herd, then you can do the mod yourself or with 6LE in another color. I opted to use a color that matched my wheels....



Either way, a painted light would look great on your car.....just please NO HALO's!

No, not the same. The paint inside doesn't cover as much.

They are the same. Depo headlights started doing the full whistler mod on them. Read the entire thread that was posted.

just re-read both threads. best bet is to get the DEPO lights, they are cheaper and they do in fact come completely "whistlered" for half what 6LE is charging, though 6LE is working on a projector setup if that fits your fancy!

I was going by the pictures on Amazon, which only showed the "half whistler" not the full whistler.

I've had all three of the lights in this thread. stocks, whistlered and now projector halos. I kinda like the halos the best. They are different and kinda cool. Just my opinion though.

i like the stockers. if you look threw my threads posted i have pics of mine its a 99 artic white ss , i did the whistler mod and blacked out behind the brights, when its no bright outside they look killer, i would stick with stock headlights, im not a fan of the halos and what not, but then again if you want projectors or something that is really the only option
